Frans has worked 15 years as mechanical designer and 26 years as high-tech hardware designer. He learned to use FPGA chips as hardware solutions for high-speed applications. His history with mechanics combined with his love of photography has resulted in the masterpieces you see here…

“A falling droplet fall to the formed waterfigure and a flying projectiel pull through the droplet forming a new splash on the air. I believe this is the first time that something like that is showing on a video. The projectiel is activated by a high power unit at 150V 12A, this act as a coilgun system and give a stable traject. The falling droplet pass through a laserbeam and generate a signal for the exact timings of all the necessary modules. The waterfigures are generated on a waveform. This waveform is a digital data and can by adjusted in time, form, frequence and volume to develop the correct figure.

The camera setup is at 600 pictures/sec. This is really the minimum for this type of application. But the camera can also set at 1200 fps but this results into a smaller number of pixels. But for analyse of the events this will also works.” – Frans
